This article examines the issues of current legal education through the prism of the ongoing processes of digital transformation. It is noted that legal education lags far behind digital needs and realities. In the light of the above, the author outlines the main directions for the development and improvement of legal education in order to train qualitatively new personnel, whose professional knowledge and skills will meet the current needs to the highest degree. The possibility of providing universities with appropriate highly specialized departments that train relevant personnel in the field of digital law is analyzed. The study of the experience of various universities suggests the need to revise the curricula of bachelor's and master's degrees with their subsequent adaptation to the ongoing processes of digitalization, namely, the provision of a number of disciplines related to the legal regulation of digital relations. Proposals are being made aimed at making changes to professional competencies, in particular, providing for such digital competence (subcompetence) as the ability to correctly apply the norms of substantive and procedural law in the field of digital rights of citizens.
